The Blob

Plot Summary:

A new version of cult classic horror film "The Blob" is in the works. The original 1958 film starred Steve McQueen in his first lead role as a teen trying to stop a gelatinous alien goo that descends from a meteorite which exponentially multiplies in size the more people it consumes. Larry Hagman of “Dallas” fame directed the low-budget 1972 sequel "Beware! The Blob," while a 1988 remake helmed by Chuck Russell and co-written by Frank Darabont failed at the box office. Rob Zombie announced another remake in 2009, but later abandoned the idea.
